Here is why.
The reason that this bracket uses torx bolts is that is the airbag collision deployment sensor that you are bolting to.
The 2 issues are
- That because the ballast is so close and in front of the sensor, it may or may not function correctly in a collision, and may or may not signal the airbag to deploy. I'm sure that the big empty space in front of the sensor was a big reason you mounted the ballast there. That clear empty space is there for a reason.
- Even though the ballast and the deployment sensor are shielded from EMI radiation, having the ballast that close to the deployment sensor could cause a malfunction of the airbag deployment system due to EMI leakage into the airbag system. The EMI that I am talking about is the "whine" you sometimes hear on your radio when the lights are on.
- Lastly even if this was a safe place to mount the ballasts, having the power connector pointing up as in they are in the pictures will allow moisture to collect over time in the connector housing which will lead to a malfunction of the ballast electronics. Connectors should always point down so that they can drain if they get moisture inside them.
So all in all, a good try, but with too many liabilities to make it practical over the long term. I cannot recommend anyone to mount their ballasts like this because of the safety and reliability issues I have listed above.
